Furniture Feature Friday is still open through midnight tonight, so link up if you have anything to share!
Oooo…some of you are going to hate me. I know a few of you have fallen in love with my vintage fan and have been trying to find one. Well, it seems I have all the luck. I found this one last week at an antique store for $10.00. Did I just lose some followers?
It’s a little smaller than the one I already have and the condition isn’t as good, but it was still a good deal and I honestly wouldn’t want this fan to be operational, anyway. I don’t even want to guess how long it would take one of my toddlers to stick their finger in there.
We were able to hang my doors in the dining room today. I still have some more work to do before the reveal, but here are a couple of peeks.
Thanks to Sherry from No Minimalist Here, I have a picture of my booth to share. None of my pictures turned out, so it was a treat to get this in my inbox today.
The booth was just about naked by the end of the day, so I had to bring more in the second day.
I also wanted to share one last picture of a fellow blogger that I had the privelege of meeting. Leslie from Farm Fresh Fun and I were planning on teaming up for a Farm Sale within about five minutes of meeting. We’re ready to hit auctions together and dig through the “junk” in her barn. Don’t you love the blog world? You get to meet women who love the things you love, so you can skip all of the formalities and get right to the good stuff.
Her daughter was so cute and curious about all of the antiques in my booth. I hope she learns to appreciate things that have stood the test of time.
I also got tons of compliments on my apron, customized for me by Leslie from The Seasoned Homemaker. This apron stood up through moving furniture, rain, overloaded pockets, and all of the abuse I could throw at it this weekend. Leslie does great work, so be sure to visit her Etsy Shop if you need an apron.
I was lucky enough to hit a yard sale today where a man was selling (more like giving away) some stuff from his parent’s barn. Jack pot! What I bought for $15 is just ridiculous. I’ll share it with you tomorrow…if you’re not mad at me about the fan.

Your booth was so cute! I really wish I could have been there!
And that fan is awesome…I wish I was as lucky as you when it comes to finding treasures!
A lady after my own heart. That fan, I have a small one that I just finished awhile back

I will let you know if I'm mad about the fan tomorrow after I see what you got from the barn guy for $15! 😉
I'm sure its just as great as the fan. Can you see me turning green??
I have a fan almost like that and it still works!! So, no, I am not mad! HA!
Great shot of your space at Lucketts

I LOVE your booth! So glad someone captured the memory! Kudos on the fan 🙂
Your booth looks awesome! YOU OBVIOUSLY had incredible things for it to get wiped out the first day! AWESOME! SO COOL FOR YOU! YAY!
BTW, I absolutely and completely ADORE that FAN! YUMMMY! AND no, I wouldn't want it to work either! LOL
Oh, you are, indeed, very lucky to get that fan. My 4 years old is a fan freak and I have been looking high and low to find old fans such as yours. No luck as of yet.
I want to start a collection for him with those old fan. Maybe one day, I'll get lucky! 🙂
Thanks for sharing and no, I am not mad but a wee bit jealous!
I love the fan!!! I'm getting all of my junk ready for a sale on Monday! Fun, fun ,fun! Your booth looked really cute!
Yup – I'm jealous about the fan – but not enough to leave. 🙂
Sounds like you've had a successful market. YAY!! I think it's so cool that you've been able to meet some blog friends and make more connections.
I'm pretty mad about the fan 🙂
Your booth looks beautiful! And I can't wait to see what you got for $15 at the garage sale!
That's it, I'm "unfollowing"! :). I'm so glad you had a great time.
Aren't you the sweetest?! Let's go junking soon! But might it be a short friendship if we end up wrestling over the same deals? hmmm I do have two old fans in my barn o junk I'd share tho… Maybe to trade for your ultra cool sign or amazing dresser. 😉 Actually, I should just hire you to come fix all my projects! We've been making hay – yes, just me n the Farmer w/a few local boys to help stack, so I haven't had time to blog. Plus my MAC is dying and Best Buy's tech guy put the final nails in its coffin. grrr But I DID take your nudge to heart and will show the kids rooms soon. How sad is it when they are the most "finished" rooms in my house?!
THANKS so much for the kind words! At the least I owe you lunch.
((hugs)))

Hubby has a vintage fan in his home office that has brass blades. I am always on the look-out for another one. Thanks for the mention! Have a great Memorial Day.
Hugs,

You just gotta keep rubbing it in about all the good deals you are getting don't you? Meanie 🙂
Love the booth picture.

I want it all … so happy to have found you via the gilded barn …
let's chat
I love it but I won't drop you yet cuz I want to see the rest of your finds 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Take care
Your booth was adorable and I love your apron! Isn't it fun to meet fellow blog friends? Your old fan is great too. And I can't wait to see what you got at the yard sale today. I went yard saling today, but did not buy one thing. There were very few sales to go to and they weren't any good. Oh well, better luck next week. Love & blessings from NC!
I love your blog. I am starting to look for antiques for my house and love the white piece w/drawers you had in your booth. Is that a dresser, sideboard, buffet? I want something to go under my tv that is hanging on the wall in the living room and that looks like it would be perfect to store dvd's and games.
I just found the post about the dresser. I have to find something like that but don't know where to start.
I've got several of those fans, of course I use them! I have one near my kitchen sink to keep me cool while washing dishes!
